To determine the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers, we rely on the given results of the scientist's experiment.
#### Given Data:
- The number of purple flowers: 669
- The number of white flowers: 221
#### Steps to Find the Ratio:
1. Identify the quantities: We have 669 purple flowers and 221 white flowers.
2. Calculate the ratio:
- The ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is found by dividing the number of purple flowers by the number of white flowers.
[tex]\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{number of purple flowers}}{\text{number of white flowers}} = \frac{669}{221} \][/tex]
3. Result:
- From our calculation, the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is 3.0271493212669682.
Thus, the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is approximately 3.027 (when rounded to three decimal places).
